title: [Quality control of stored platelet concentrates by means of flow cytometry].
abstract: Storage of single-donor platelets is currently limited to 5 days. During this period, however, numerous morphologic and biochemical changes have been observed. The present study describes increased binding of anti-GMP 140 to stored single-donor platelet concentrates; this reveals a progressive activation process. In contrast, when stored platelets are stimulated with ADP, GMP 140, expression is reduced indicating a diminished release reaction. Additionally, the GP IIb/IIIa receptor complex and its fibrinogen-induced binding site (LIBS1) are reduced by storage time, demonstrating a diminished fibrinogen binding. Further experiments have to clarify whether these changes observed in vitro translate into a reduced hemostatic capacity after transfusion in vivo.
